A retired educator, I'm now a sci fi novelist and futurist. I've written six books, had two published at a dot.com with indifferent results, came in 3 in the scifi/fantasy catagory at the Northwest Writers conference (2010) and currently have that book before a small publisher. At the same time, I'm taking a hard look at the 21st Century/Third Millennium, noting that we're living through the dawn of both. I'm paying particular attention to forged composite carbon fiber, a quantum leap in metallurgy; the VSS Enterprise, the world's first space liner; the nuclear fusion power plant, inexhaustible power for the future; poly extremophiles such as Deinococcus radiodurans, organisms that didn't evolve on this planet; the vector vortex coronagraph and nulling interferometer, telescopes capable of seeing small rocky planets in life zones to a distance of 500 light years, 1,000,000 stars and nearly that many solar systems, the current search for life and civilizations across the galaxy that has found 1764 planets and photographed a handful, noting Dick Carrigan's theory (Economist April 17-21 2010) that other civilizations can be detected by the pollutions they leave in their atmospheres ---and the wild card in all this, the unofficial military and intelligence communities' conclusion that "UFO's are real" John B Alexander, January 2011. These times are going to be wild and crazy. And they will be something also. "Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive but to be young was very heaven." thanx Wordsworth
